Our family really enjoyed dining here. The waitress was very friendly and quick. The food was excellent. I had the pizza, which was probably a little better than average, and the rest of the family has the grouper, and said it was exceptional. It has potatoes underneath, with crab meat on top, and everyone of them loved it, which I... more

We stopped by Marina Cafe Sunday night on our way home. We were not dressed up and felt a little uncomfortable but many people were very casual like us so it was okay. The decor is very minimalistic and modern. The views are wonderful. Our server seemed a little snobby but I guess that was part of the "atmosphere". My... more

From 5pm - 6pm, you will get a buy one, get one free (except for steak). And when you do, you will pay no more than $15/plate for your main course. And when you do, may i suggest the redfish. It is STUNNING! The redfish is seasoned absolutely perfectly and it will make you come back for more. My wife... more

Although higher priced than most Destin restaurants, the food is far better also, and price is what you'd expect for an upper-end restaurant or even better $28 -38. Nice quiet atmosphere -- a change from what we've encountered at most other Destin restaurants -- and great view. Of the two dishes we ordered, the red fish was the better choice... more

I still have the photos of the sunset from this restaurant on my screen saver, but be aware this is one of the pricier restaurants in the area. We used it as a "special occasion" dinner. We've been going to Destin for almost 20 years and usually opt for places like Cafe Grazie, Lucky Snapper, Back Porch etc. But when... more

Went back for probably our 20th meal at Marina Cafe on a recent trip through Destin. They still have the half price entrees from 5-6 which appears to continue drawing a crowd even given the tough economy. After a number of remarkable meals maybe 3-5 years ago, the past few have been fine, but not as memorable as previous visits.... more

Don't let the outside of this restaurant fool you - inside is a very classy place with great food. Yes, the prices are on the high side - but if you want great food and an amazing view it is worth it. They have an extensive wine list, both domestic and imported, again a little on the high side (cheapest... more

Overlooking a beautiful golden sunset with the light fading over the marina, my husband and I loved everything placed before us, starting with the fresh baked bread and flavored olive oil; moving on to the delightful Sauteed Lump Blue Crab Cakes. My husband ordered the Pan Seared Andouille Crusted Red Fish, served with vegetables, while I ordered the Pan Seared... more

Marina Cafe was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious! Our waiter was very pleasant and went out of his way to explain in detail how the dishes were prepared. We would definitely go back to this fine restaurant. I would vote the best food in Destin. more
